"EMBARCACIÓN PARA LA LIMPIEZA DE SUPERFICIES ACUÁTICAS""BOAT FOR THE CLEANING OF AQUATIC SURFACES"
Sector técnico de la invención. -Technical sector of the invention. -
La presente invención se refiere a una embarcación para la limpieza de superficies acuáticas, particularmente aplicable para la recogida de suciedad, objetos y residuos flotantes en la capa superficial del agua del mar, de ríos, de lagos, de pantanos o de estanques.The present invention relates to a boat for cleaning aquatic surfaces, particularly applicable for the collection of dirt, objects and floating debris in the surface layer of water from the sea, rivers, lakes, swamps or ponds.
En particular, la presente invención se refiere a una embarcación del tipo de las que comprenden unos medios de recogida de los residuos, que en su posición operativa están dispuestos transversalmente a la dirección de avance de la embarcación, provistos de dos marcos laterales que soportan respectivas bolsas amovibles mediante unos medios de acopla- miento, siendo dichas bolsas permeables al agua y estando adaptadas para recoger la suciedad, siendo cada uno de los marcos susceptible de replegarse, independientemente del otro, en un primer movimiento de rotación vertical y un segundo movimiento de rotación horizontal, para ser llevado desde la posición operativa de recogida de la suciedad, en la que se encuentra al menos parcialmente sumergido en la super¬ ficie acuática, hasta una posición de desplazamiento y transporte, en la que se encuentra al menos parcialmente extraído de la misma, y viceversa.In particular, the present invention relates to a vessel of the type comprising a means for collecting waste, which in its operative position are arranged transversely to the direction of advance of the vessel, provided with two lateral frames that support respective removable bags by means of coupling means, said bags being permeable to water and being adapted to collect dirt, each of the frames being able to fold, independently of the other, in a first vertical rotation movement and a second movement of horizontal rotation, to be taken from the operational position of dirt collection, in which it is at least partially submerged in the aquatic surface, to a position of displacement and transport, in which it is at least partially removed from the same, and vice versa.
Antecedentes de la invención. -Background of the invention. -
Para la recogida de los residuos flotantes en las capas superficiales de agua, constituidos principalmente por residuos plásticos, papeles, algas, embalajes, latas, bote¬ llas, etc., desde hace tiempo se vienen utilizando embar- caciones diseñadas o acondicionadas para tal fin.For the collection of floating waste in the surface layers of water, mainly consisting of plastic waste, paper, seaweed, packaging, cans, bottles, etc., boats designed or equipped for this purpose have been used for some time. .
Estos residuos se encuentran por lo general en una capa superficial del agua que no excede el metro de pro¬ fundidad.These wastes are usually found in a surface layer of water that does not exceed the depth meter.
Hasta hace poco, se utilizaban exclusivamente gran¬ des embarcaciones de draga, que se modificaban con el objeto de adaptarlas para la recogida de esta suciedad superficial. Estas grandes embarcaciones han sido exclusivamente aptas para la limpieza de puertos y que, debido a su gran tamaño y masa, son lentas, carecen de maniobrabilidad y no son adecua¬ das para la limpieza de espacios acuáticos en los que haya concurrencia de personas o que sean de dimensiones reducidas. Recientemente se han dado a conocer algunos disposi¬ tivos con capacidad de maniobra y de acceso a lugares fre¬ cuentados por la gente. Cabe citar la solicitud de patente W094/12385, que describe una moto de agua para la limpieza de superficies de agua, que comprende medios de recogida de los residuos, constituidos por dos marcos dispuestos a ambos lados de la moto y que dispone de medios de elevación que permiten llevar dichos medios de recogida a por lo menos dos posiciones diferentes: una primera posición de recogida de los residuos, en la que dichos medios se encuentran al menos parcialmente sumergidos y una segunda posición de transporte, en la que se encuentran por lo menos parcialmente extraídos del agua. El dispositivo está dotado de una falsa proa.Until recently, only large dredge vessels were used, which were modified in order to adapt them for the collection of this surface dirt. These large vessels have been exclusively suitable for cleaning ports and, due to their large size and mass, are slow, lack maneuverability and are not suitable for cleaning aquatic spaces where there is a concurrence of people or that They are small in size. Recently, some devices with maneuverability and access to places frequented by people have been released. It is worth mentioning the patent application W094 / 12385, which describes a water motorcycle for cleaning water surfaces, which comprises means for collecting waste, consisting of two frames arranged on both sides of the motorcycle and which has means of elevation that allow said collection means to be carried at least two different positions: a first waste collection position, in which said means are at least partially submerged and a second transport position, in which they are located less partially extracted from water. The device is equipped with a false bow.
Un inconveniente de la moto de agua de la patente W094/12385 consiste en que los movimientos de los marcos deben ser accionados manualmente, por la propia persona que conduce la moto. Para ello, ésta debe inclinarse hacia delante, modificando así notablemente la distribución de masas sobre la línea de flotación, lo que en esta embarcación de poco peso tiende a hacerla escorar de modo imprevisible.A drawback of the W094 / 12385 patent watercraft is that the movements of the frames must be manually operated by the person driving the motorcycle. For this, it must lean forward, thus significantly modifying the distribution of masses on the waterline, which in this small vessel tends to make it unpredictable.
Además, la canalización de los residuos hacia los medios de recogida que pretende realizarse a través de la citada falsa proa, no es efectiva.In addition, the channeling of waste to the collection means that is intended to be carried out through the aforementioned false bow, is not effective.
Adicionalmente, en la técnica anterior, incluido el documento citado, subsiste el inconveniente de que, con el objeto de que la embarcación sea de reducidas dimensiones, sus respectivas mangas son hidrodinámicamente insuficientes para evitar el escoramiento cuando la embarcación se traslada a velocidades elevadas, sobre todo para el transporte de las bolsas almacenadas sobre ella, especialmente en el caso de que haya oleaje en la superficie acuática.Additionally, in the prior art, including the cited document, the disadvantage remains that, in order for the vessel to be small in size, Their respective sleeves are hydrodynamically insufficient to avoid the picking when the boat moves at high speeds, especially for the transport of the bags stored on it, especially in the case of swells on the aquatic surface.
Explicación de la invención. -Explanation of the invention. -

Según otra característica de la presente invención, la embarcación comprende unos medios adicionales de sustenta¬ ción hidrodinámica, constituidos por un plano inclinado de proa a popa, provistos en la cara inferior de la parte superior de cada marco lateral . De acuerdo con otra característica de la presente invención, la embarcación comprende un primer par de cilin¬ dros hidráulicos y un segundo par de cilindros hidráulicos, para efectuar, respectivamente, el citado primer movimiento de rotación vertical y el citado segundo movimiento de rota- ción horizontal de los correspondientes marcos, siendo el primer movimiento de rotación transmitido a cada uno de éstos por medio de un mecanismo biela-manivela, cuya manivela está constituida por los vastagos de los respectivos cilindros y cuya biela está conectada al respectivo marco para el giro de éste sobre un correspondiente eje vertical, al tiempo que, para efectuar el segundo movimiento de rotación, cada uno de los marcos está provisto de unos medios mecánicos de soporte y traslación accionados por el segundo cilindro hidráulico.In its essence, the present invention is characterized in that said waste collection means comprise a frame divided in two by its middle transverse plane, determining two symmetrical and equal halves, each of which constitutes one of said frames lateral, which in the operative position form a single piece arranged in front of the bow of the boat and set in its central part a tajamar, which completely covers the front of the boat in front and in its upper part is of curved convex configuration, while in its lower part it is provided with a hydrodynamic support fin, in an inclined plane from bow to stern, connected to the upper part by a double central vertical partition, and the lateral frames being jointly joined to said tajamar, without continuity solution, all so that both halves of the frame can be separated to independently adopt the position of travel I lie and transport.

En la Fig. 2 se aprecia que los pañoles 41 a 46 son accesibles mediante respectivos tambuchos 51 a 56 practicados en la cubierta 68 de la embarcación 2. Cada tambucho 51 a 56 está a su vez provisto en su periferia de rebordes ascenden¬ tes y susceptibles de ser cerrados mediante respectivas tapas 61 a 66, cuyos extremos inferiores solapan externamente a dichos rebordes, pro-porcionando estanqueidad a los corres- pondientes pañoles 41 a 46.In Fig. 2 it can be seen that the cloths 41 to 46 are accessible by means of respective drums 51 to 56 practiced on the deck 68 of the vessel 2. Each drum 51 to 56 is in turn provided on its periphery with ascending flanges and liable to be closed by respective covers 61 to 66, whose lower ends externally overlap said flanges, providing sealing to the corresponding cloths 41 to 46.
El tambucho 56 del sexto pañol 46 está adaptado para ser cerrado mediante un cajón hueco a modo de torreta 66 , dotado de los elementos 48 de accionamiento manual y de control de la embarcación 2 y de los citados medios de recogida de los residuos.The drum 56 of the sixth page 46 is adapted to be closed by means of a hollow drawer in the form of a turret 66, equipped with the manually operated and control elements 48 of the vessel 2 and of said waste collection means.
Los medios de recogida de los residuos 2 montados en la embarcación 2, comprenden un marco 3e, dispuesto a estribor de la embarcación 2, y un marco 3b, dispuesto a babor de la misma, configurando ambos marcos en posición operativa un bastidor 4 formado por dos mitades simétricas e iguales, que en dicha posición operativa constituyen una sola pieza dispuesta por delante de la proa 36 de la embarcación 2 y forman en su parte central un tajamar 1, que se encuentra recubriendo totalmente la roda 28 de la embarcación 2 por delante de la misma.The waste collection means 2 mounted on the vessel 2, comprise a frame 3e, arranged starboard of the vessel 2, and a frame 3b, disposed on the port side thereof, both frames setting up a frame 4 formed by operating two symmetrical and equal halves, which in said operative position constitute a single piece arranged in front of the bow 36 of the vessel 2 and form in its central part a tajamar 1, which is completely covering the rod 28 of the vessel 2 ahead Of the same.
Los mencionados marcos laterales de estribor 3e y de babor 3b están solidariamente unidos a dicho tajamar 1, sin solución de continuidad con éste.The aforementioned starboard 3e and port 3b side frames are jointly joined to said tajamar 1, without continuity solution with it.
El bastidor comprende en su parte inferior una aleta 13 de sustentación hidrodinámica, en plano incli-nado de proa a popa, unida a la parte superior por un doble tabique vertical central 12, en tanto que en su parte inferior comprende un plano inclinado 74 de proa a popa. La aleta 13 y el plano inclinado 74 determinan unos medios de sustenta¬ ción hidrodinámica del conjunto de la embarcación 2, que actúan ejerciendo una fuerza en sentido ascendente que tiende a compensar el hundimiento de la parte anterior de la embar¬ cación 2, cuando ésta navega a velocidad elevada.The frame comprises in its lower part a hydrodynamic support fin 13, inclined from bow to stern, connected to the top by a double partition central vertical 12, while in its lower part it comprises an inclined plane 74 from bow to stern. The fin 13 and the inclined plane 74 determine a means of hydrodynamic support of the whole of the vessel 2, which act exerting an upward force that tends to compensate for the sinking of the anterior part of the vessel 2, when this Navigate at high speed.
Cada uno de los marcos 3e y 3b soporta una respec¬ tiva bolsa amovible 5, unida al marco por la periferia de éste por unos medios de acoplamiento y adaptada para recoger los residuos sólidos presentes en la capa superficial de la masa de agua a limpiar.Each of the frames 3e and 3b supports a respective removable bag 5, attached to the frame by the periphery of the latter by means of coupling and adapted to collect solid waste present in the surface layer of the body of water to be cleaned.
Dichos medios de acoplamiento de las bolsas 5 a los marcos 3b, 3e están constituidos, por una pluralidad de ganchos 58, dispuestos en los marcos 3b, 3e, y por unas primeras cintas de adherencia de tipo "velero" 59, intercala¬ das entre cada dos ganchos 58 consecutivos. Complemen-taria- mente, las bolsas 5 están dotadas de unos ojetes 60 que cooperan con los ganchos 58 y de unas segundas cintas de tipo "velero" 67 complementarias de las cintas 59 y dispuestas entre los ojetes 60, adaptadas para realizar un enganche amovible por apriete, con las correspondientes primeras cintas "velero" 59.Said means of coupling the bags 5 to the frames 3b, 3e are constituted, by a plurality of hooks 58, arranged in the frames 3b, 3e, and by a first "sailboat" type adhesion tapes 59, interposed between every two consecutive 58 hooks. In addition, the bags 5 are provided with eyelets 60 that cooperate with the hooks 58 and with second ribbons of the "sailboat" type 67 complementary to the bands 59 and arranged between the eyelets 60, adapted to make a removable hitch by tightening, with the corresponding first "sailboat" tapes 59.
En la posición operativa de recogida de los resi- dúos, los marcos 3e y 3b están dispuestos transversalmente a la dirección de avance de la embarcación 2 (Figs. 1, 2, 3 y 7) .In the operational position for collecting the waste, frames 3e and 3b are arranged transversely to the direction of advance of the vessel 2 (Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 7).
En dicha posición operativa, los marcos 3e y 3b y los filtros 16 se encuentran parcialmente sumergidos a una profundidad suficiente como para recoger toda la suciedad susceptible de ser encontrada en la superficie del agua 20. Cada uno de los marcos 3e y 3b puede replegarse, independientemente del otro, en un primer movimiento reversi¬ ble de rotación vertical y en un segundo movimiento reversi- ble de rotación horizontal, siendo ambos movimientos de rotación igualmente independientes entre sí. Mediante estos dos movimientos de rotación, los marcos 3e y 3b pueden ser llevados desde la posición operativa de recogida de los residuos, en la que se encuentran al menos parcialmente sumergidos en la superficie acuática 20, (Figs. 1 a 3 y 7) , hasta una posición de desplazamiento y transporte (Fig. 6) , en la que se encuentran al menos parcialmente extraídos de la misma.In said operative position, the frames 3e and 3b and the filters 16 are partially submerged at a sufficient depth to collect all the dirt that can be found on the surface of the water 20. Each of the frames 3e and 3b can be retracted, independently of the other, in a first reversible movement of vertical rotation and in a second reversible movement of horizontal rotation, both rotation movements being equally independent of each other. Through these two rotational movements, frames 3e and 3b can be carried from the operative position of waste collection, in which they are at least partially submerged in the aquatic surface 20, (Figs. 1 to 3 and 7), up to a position of movement and transport (Fig. 6), in which they are at least partially removed from it.
Los citados movimientos de rotación de dichos marcos 3e y 3b son accionados por unos cilindros hidráu-licos 8e, 8b, 9e y 9b, cuya constitución y funcionamiento son descritos más adelante.The said rotational movements of said frames 3e and 3b are driven by hydraulic cylinders 8e, 8b, 9e and 9b, whose constitution and operation are described below.
En las Figs. 1, 4, 5 y 6 se pueden apreciar que la embarcación 2 comprende un tabique 76 esencialmente ver-tical que sobresale de la roda 28 de la embarcación, provisto en la proa de esta última, que constituye unos medios de tope del citado segundo movimiento de rotación horizontal de los marcos laterales 3e, 3b.In Figs. 1, 4, 5 and 6 it can be seen that the vessel 2 comprises an essentially vertical partition 76 that protrudes from the vessel's shaft 28, provided on the bow of the latter, which constitutes a stop means of said second movement of horizontal rotation of the side frames 3e, 3b.
El tabique 76 está diseñado para que cuando topen contra el mismo los marcos 3e, 3b en su movimiento de giro horizontal, detengan su rotación, aumentando los respectivos cilindros 8e y 8b su presión hasta la presión máxima de trabajo. En condiciones operativas, los cilindros 8e y 8b mantendrán dicha presión máxima, compensando el eventual empuje en sentido de proa 36 a popa 39 ejercido por las bolsas 5 llenas sobre la embarcación 2 a través de los marcos 3e y 3b, a fin de que éstos no giren de forma indeseable.The partition 76 is designed so that when the frames 3e, 3b in their horizontal rotation movement are struck against it, they stop their rotation, the respective cylinders 8e and 8b increasing their pressure to the maximum working pressure. Under operational conditions, cylinders 8e and 8b will maintain said maximum pressure, compensating the eventual thrust in the direction of bow 36 to stern 39 exerted by the bags 5 filled on the vessel 2 through frames 3e and 3b, so that these Do not turn undesirably.
La embarcación comprende unos medios de soporte 17 para transportar las bolsas 50, una vez que éstas ya están llenas y se han retirado de los marcos 3e y 3b para su transporte o para el cambio de emplazamiento de la embarca¬ ción 2 a una velocidad mayor que la de recogida. Preferible¬ mente, estos medios de soporte 17 se disponen en la popa de la embarcación 2. En el ejemplo representado en las Figs. 1 a 9, dichos medios de soporte 17 están cons-tituidos por una estructura de barras metálicas y por una plataforma para las bolsas llenas 50. La Fig. 4 muestra una disposición de los marcos 3b y 3e en la que el marco 3b de babor ha sido girado y elevado, trasladándose hacia su posición de transporte.The vessel comprises support means 17 for transporting the bags 50, once these are already full and have been removed from the frames 3e and 3b for transport or for the change of location of the vessel 2 at a higher speed than the collection. Preferably, these support means 17 are arranged at the stern of the boat 2. In the example shown in Figs. 1 to 9, said support means 17 are constituted by a metal bar structure and by a platform for filled bags 50. Fig. 4 shows an arrangement of the frames 3b and 3e in which the port frame 3b has been turned and raised, moving towards its transport position.
La Fig. 5 muestra una disposición en la que ambos marcos 3b y 3e se encuentran en una posición intermedia entre su posición operativa y su posición de desplazamiento y transporte.Fig. 5 shows an arrangement in which both frames 3b and 3e are in an intermediate position between their operating position and their travel and transport position.
La Fig. 6 muestra la posición operativa de los medios de recogida de los residuos, en la que ambos marcos 3e, 3b se encuentran completamente extraídos del agua en su posición de desplazamiento rápido y transporte, quedando sobre sus costados sin impedir el movimiento al usuario y facilitando la manipulación de las bolsas llenas 50. Efecti¬ vamente, en la Fig. 2 se aprecia que a los costados de babor y a estribor de su casco 31, merced al elevado valor de su manga, la embarcación 2 dispone de espacios libres que permiten el cómodo traslado de las bolsas 50 llenas a los citados soportes 17 cuando han de ser almacenadas y transpor¬ tadas. Así, en un paso previo a ser cargadas en los medios de soporte 17, las bolsas 50 pueden ser depositadas sobre los costados, haciendo al operario más cómoda y segura su labor.Fig. 6 shows the operative position of the waste collection means, in which both frames 3e, 3b are completely removed from the water in their position of rapid movement and transport, remaining on their sides without impeding the movement to the user and facilitating the handling of full bags 50. Indeed, in Fig. 2 it can be seen that at the port and starboard sides of its hull 31, thanks to the high value of its sleeve, vessel 2 has free spaces that they allow the convenient transfer of the filled bags 50 to said supports 17 when they are to be stored and transported. Thus, in a previous step to be loaded on the support means 17, the bags 50 can be deposited on the sides, making the operator more comfortable and safe work.
La embarcación 2 comprende, de modo en sí conocido, un volante 23, un conjunto de elementos de accionamiento 48 de la embarcación y de los medios de recogida de los resi- dúos, montados en la citada torreta 66 .The vessel 2 comprises, in a known manner, a steering wheel 23, a set of actuating elements 48 of the vessel and of the means for collecting the waste, mounted on said turret 66.
En las Figs. 10 a 12 se representa una segunda forma de realización de la presente invención, en la que la embar¬ cación 2 adopta la forma de una moto de agua de tipo "sco¬ oter". En ella, el primer par de cilindros hidráulicos 8e, 8b está cubierto por una tapa 27 y el cilindro de estribor 8e efectúa el primer movimiento de rotación del marco 3e corres¬ pondiente, merced a un correspondiente mecanismo biela-mani¬ vela de tipo conocido. La manivela de dicho mecanismo está constituida por los propios vastagos lie y 11b de los respec- tivos cilindros 8e, 8b, estando los extremos libres de los vastagos lie, 11b conectados a sendas bielas 15e y 15b, unidas a su vez al respectivo marco 3e y 3b, para dotar a éstos del giro sobre un correspondiente eje vertical 6e, 6b. Como alternativa, también es posible que el primer movimiento de rotación de cada marco 3e, 3b sea transmitido a éste por medio de un mecanismo cremallera-piñón, no repre¬ sentado en los dibujos, siendo la cremallera solidaria a los vastagos lie, 11b de los respectivos primeros cilindros 8e, 8b y siendo el piñón coaxial y solidario con respecto al eje vertical 6e y 6b de rotación de los marcos 3e y 3b. Tal como se aprecia en las Figs. 10 a 15, el dispo¬ sitivo está igualmente provisto de un segundo par de cilin¬ dros hidráulicos 9e, 9b, que accionan los medios mecánicos de soporte y traslación constituidos por un respectivo para- lelogramo articulado 18e y 18b, cada uno de los cuales comprende una pieza anterior 24e y 24b, solidaria a su vez al marco correspondiente 3e y 3b, y una pieza posterior 25e y 25b, solidaria al eje de rotación vertical 6e, 6b del marco 3e, 3b. El segundo cilindro de estribor 9e efectúa el citado segundo movimiento de rotación del marco de estribor 3e, mientras que el segundo cilindro de babor 9b efectúa el segundo movimiento de rotación del marco de babor 8b. Dichos segundos movimientos de rotación se llevan a cabo sobre unos respectivos ejes verticales 7e y 7b.In Figs. 10 to 12, a second embodiment of the present invention is shown, in which the boat 2 takes the form of a "scooter" type water motorcycle. In it, the first pair of hydraulic cylinders 8e, 8b is covered by a cover 27 and the starboard cylinder 8e makes the first rotation movement of the corresponding frame 3e, thanks to a corresponding connecting rod-handle mechanism of known type . The crank of said mechanism is constituted by the own rods lie and 11b of the respective cylinders 8e, 8b, the free ends of the rods lie, 11b being connected to connecting rods 15e and 15b, together with the respective frame 3e and 3b, to provide them with the rotation on a corresponding vertical axis 6e, 6b. As an alternative, it is also possible that the first rotation movement of each frame 3e, 3b is transmitted to it by means of a rack-pinion mechanism, not represented in the drawings, the rack being integral with the stems lie, 11b of the respective first cylinders 8e, 8b and the coaxial and integral pinion being relative to the vertical axis 6e and 6b of rotation of the frames 3e and 3b. As seen in Figs. 10 to 15, the device is also provided with a second pair of hydraulic cylinders 9e, 9b, which actuate the mechanical support and translation means constituted by a respective articulated parallelogram 18e and 18b, each of which it comprises a front piece 24e and 24b, in turn integral to the corresponding frame 3e and 3b, and a rear piece 25e and 25b, integral to the vertical rotation axis 6e, 6b of the frame 3e, 3b. The second starboard cylinder 9e performs said second rotation movement of the starboard frame 3e, while the second port cylinder 9b performs the second rotation movement of the port frame 8b. Said second rotational movements are carried out on respective vertical axes 7e and 7b.
El movimiento producido por el paralelogramo arti- culado 18e, 18b puede naturalmente ser conseguido mediante cualquier otro dispositivo mecánico.The movement produced by the articulated parallelogram 18e, 18b can of course be achieved by any other mechanical device.
Debe hacerse constar que el mecanismo descrito de biela-manivela y de paralelogramo articulado de la segunda forma de realización, puede ser perfectamente aplicable a la primera forma de realización representada en las Figs. 1 a 9. It should be noted that the described crank-crank and articulated parallelogram mechanism of the second embodiment can be perfectly applicable to the first embodiment represented in Figs. 1 to 9
